What Steve R doesn't like about Samudra:
Food:Definitely not my style of Indian food. This place is strictly vegan and overall wasn't that satisfying. Wasn't really filling and the rice was very dry. Service:Service was okay. We got sat down quickly since their was no wait. Got our water refilled a few times without asking. Ambiance:Large space and was able to fit a party of 4 quickly. Has a bathroom for guest so PLUS 1 View all feedback. What Gregory M likes about Samudra:
This restaurant is one of my favorites. The flavors are clear and distinct, and I totally recommend the combination platters, which allow you to discover new things. A very homey, simple, and warm setting; you feel like you're eating in a family kitchen. Moreover, the staff is wonderfully sweet to everyone. We travel for hours to get here in fact, we used to drive more than a hundred miles. Especially on return trips... View all feedback.

The restaurant offers strictly vegan Indian food, which may not appeal to all tastes. Some customers found the food disappointing and not up to their expectations, with complaints about taste and quality. However, others found the experience delightful, praising the delicious dosas and friendly service. The ambiance was spacious and accommodating for groups, with quick seating and good customer service. Overall, opinions varied widely, with some customers vowing never to return while others found the food to be amazing and affordable.

The poori bhaji at Samudra is TO DIE FOR. They have a wonderful tomato chutney and their idli is delicious. Highly recommend!
